Just started Don Winslow's Savages... Chapter 1 was quite intriguing... simply two words... "Fuck You"
I'm a little over 100 pages in and it seems as though this is going to be an interesting read... doesn't follow the normal chapter structure, which I like.
Oliver Stone made this a movie with some top notch actors, so I wanted to read the book before it hits theaters, plus I've seen some good write ups on Winslow.
Next up will be "The Inquistor" by Mark Allen Smith...
Marilyn Manson - The Long Hard Road Out of Hell.
Fascinating if gut wrenching much of the time.He will never be as fucked up as the environment he grew up in. Brilliant read

I am about halfway done with Tigana by Guy Gavriel Kay
He is such a great author. His writing style is so good. Such a contrast to the last book Ready Player One by Ernest Cline that i just finished. I enjoyed ready player one, but GGK has a way with words.

The thing I like most about time is that it's not real. It's all in the head. Sure, it's a useful trick to use if you want to meet someone at a specific place in the universe and have tea or coffee- but that's all it is- a trick. There is no such thing as the past. It exists only in the memory. There is no such thing as the future. It exists only in our imagination. If our watches were truly accurate, the only thing they would ever say is "Now". That's what time it is. It's "Now". - Damien Echols
I just started this myself - I'm at the Contract part - :shock:
lots of sex
LOL Understatement!!

Wow, this 50 Shades of Gray is really making its rounds. What is it people like about it? is it graphic? Sexcapades right?
Anne Rice's wrote a Sleeping Beauty Series quite a few years ago, basically erotica/porn and apparently its getting some recognition because of this 50 Shades hype. I read it years ago and it was pretty darned good.

It's pretty erotic.... I definitely wasn't expecting what I read!

I haven't read it, but know two friends who did and said the writing is horrible. Twilight quality.
The Anne Rice Sleeping Beauty books are amazing - not the sort of thing I usually read, but I thought they were great. And very well written.
But I just finished The Kennedy Curse, and picked up Michael Lewis' Liars Poker and Ronald Kessler's bio on Joeseph P Kennedy, Sins of the Father. I'm on a big Kennedy family kick this summer so far.

I'm really interested in JFK, RFK, and the rest of the family. What are some JFK books you'd recommend? I put 2 on my Amazon wishlist: "An Unfinished Life: John F. Kennedy, 1917-1963" and "Brothers: The Hidden History of the Kennedy Years". Also, have you been to the JFK library and museum?

"The Wind Through the Keyhole" Stephen King. A+ for "Dark Tower" fans.
"Hitchhiking with Larry David" by Paul Dolman. Meh...definitely not what I expected. I think the guy titled it so that Seinfeld/CYE fans like me would get sucked in. Not awful, but not what I expected. I give it a C. If you're looking for Larry David-isms or Larry style humor (or humor at all for that matter), this is NOT it.
I'm now reading William Manchester's biography of Douglas MacCarthur. It's going to take me awhile (all Manchester's biographies are heavy), but its great so far.

Well that's the thing...it sounded really interesting (I could see lots of funny Larry-lines in a hitchhiking scenario), but there's really very, very little Larry David in the book. There are quotes from him at the start of every chapter, and the author runs into Larry a few different times in the book, none of which are very funny. Agh...the more I talk about it, the less I like the book.
If you want to read it, I'll lend it to you via mail. But save yourself the money; don't buy it.
By the way, I'm heading out to buy season 8 of CYE today. My wife and I and my parents are BBQing and having a marathon tonight. Can't wait!
